Financial Assistance

Several Graduate Teaching Assistantships (GTA's) and a limited number of Graduate Research Assistantships (GRA's) are available on a competitive basis. These appointments include a stipend and also carry a waiver of most tuition and instructional fees for both residents and nonresidents. Appointments are made for the academic year and may be renewed for a second year. Additional assistantship support may be available for the summer quarter.

The University also has a program (Tuition Fellowships), administered through the Colleges, for supporting just the tuition and instructional fees, without any stipend support. See the "Financial Assistance, Fees, and Tuition" section of the graduate catalog for details.
